Hello and Welcome to my first post on trumatter’s new website! (Doing a little dance) After days of down, here it is up and running and hopefully would run for sometime without me having to call the entire tech universe. Let’s say yayyy! It’s a custom with us Bengali peeps to celebrate everything good with…
Morning y’all! How have you been keeping in your neck of woods. It’s apocalypse here in Mumbai: I have a feeling we will have to buy rafts and start tying our things, going by the way its raining. We woke up at 5:45, had our breakfast but couldn’t step out. While the husband got a…
Broomstick days people, dark broomstick days. The girl behind the blog had been going berserk with cold, flu, cough, throat ache, etc- just name it- and I am telling you it’s disgusting. Thanks to our super hot Indian Summers, constant AC and then surprise cold splashes with the advent of monsoons that I am now a…
Wuddup! What’s going on at yours and hows the almost midweek treating you. As for me, I think it’s treating me quite nice. I’ve taken ‘work from home’ for a couple of days and got to try my hands on baking some artisan bread at home: I have to tell you that it popped out…
My Role Model! Yup, its time you all had an exclusive sneak peek into my soul and not just my house. It’s time I let you into my life and told you about those two people who shaped me into who I am, being who they are and what they do and the way you…
Howdie do you do this beautiful Sunday arvo, peeples? As for us, we are homebound, air-conditioner bound and Granita bound. It’s so hot in here that it almost feels like we are living on mars: whiskey has been substituted with G&T, Coffee with Mocha/Coffee Granita and lots and lots of beer. Can’t even touch my…
Indian Cuisine is difficult. Period. If you are not cooking for more than 6 years at a stretch, you’d go miserably wrong I guess. Or maybe its me. Fun part is, when you approach mom or moms for that matter of fact, for a good dope on “how to”, they have a standard answer: “Put…
Pandhara in Marathi means yellow and Rassa means gravy which pretty much sums up what I am about to blog. Its a wonderful comfort food, made with coconut milk, chicken broth and a few fantastic roasted spices. Though the original recipe doesn’t call for Chicken pieces but only stock/ broth and is generally more runny:…
A lovely strawberry thyme sorbet is here to cool things off a bit because ladies and gentlemen, I can feel it coming in the air tonight. Oh Lord! oh Loooord! The summer winds are blowing and though it’s surprisingly cool for March this year, it’s not going to be any further. After Holi- which I…
Welcome to Trumatter. Now that all the hoping and hype and ‘Oh-My-God-I-cant-concentrate-what-if-I-Lose’ is over, we can get back to some real deal in here. This time, its a super easy Baklava Recipe that you can make in a cup: A recipe specially created for all the lazy souls out there who would love a cup…
Wowza! How have you been keeping this beautiful, beautiful Saturday? If you are up for some tart and sugary goodness to start of your weekend, I present to you a dessert straight from the German land. I am telling you, you are going to “Liebe” this. A colleague at work gave me some plums on…
Well hello there! I am alive. I am very alive. Don’t be sad for my demise or absence…everything’s rocking at this side of the tropical hemisphere! It’s just that broomstick days are way too many and time is way too less and a girl like me needs to squeeze some all-night Friday night home party…
Evening people! Yes, I have started populating this blog again- maybe because I finally realized that I’d never really make anything out of it ever! For sometime- I tried desperately to make money out of this, then thought I should change the name of the blog to RukminiRoy (plain and simple) and then stopped blogging…
